“Cherokee 140”
Cherokee 140 is also a two place plane. Without reading more than the clip of the article, I wasn’t sure if that reference was to the current crash or the earlier one...
Upon reading the article, the current aircraft was a Piper PA-32, a Cherokee Six - six seats.
From the article:
Elizabeth Cory, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said the Piper 32 was traveling from Hereford, Texas, to Gettysburg, South Dakota.
The Cessna 140 reference was to a similar accident, not this one.
